When you slow your retrieve, do they straighten out? If not, do what chuck said.

when i slow the retreive they straighten out but i am reeling so slow they start to sink. i'll try bending the wire.

i would bend them.
i have had very good luck w/ their titanium spinner baits.

I always try to lin up the hook perfectly with the wire. Works for me.

Hey I see the pros do it all the time on Tv

yOU Need needlenosed pliers to bend the eyes on crank baits. Something else that will help is to tie on a real small snap swivel.
